Chapter 1637 - 600: Four Taoist Gods_2

The question arises—how did you know that if the Kongming Mirror came into the possession of the Heavenly Dome, it would wreak havoc on the human world, when it has only been in existence for less than half a year?"

For an object classified as a "Classical Magical Artifact" that has been in existence for less than half a year, how could West Valley True Monarch know its extraordinary power and lingering danger?

"This... what’s the..."

West Valley True Monarch continued, "I am one of the Taoist Heavenly Gods, and the Heavenly Masters of Hidden Dragon Mountain pray to me daily,

In their prayers in front of my idol, they inadvertently mentioned the Kongming Mirror, which I overheard."

"So, at that time, you already knew about the Kongming Mirror and its formidable power?"

"Naturally... Otherwise, why would this True Monarch descend upon Hidden Dragon Mountain and slaughter those Taoist Heavenly Masters in one fell swoop."

"Hmm, so you’re just talking nonsense."

Enraged, Zhou Xuan cursed and said, "At that time, Hidden Dragon Mountain’s understanding of the Kongming Mirror was extremely mediocre,

They themselves did not know the uses of that mystical mirror, yet you claim you learned about its invincible power through the words of the Heavenly Master disciples? If that’s not nonsense, what is?"

"..."

West Valley True Monarch wanted to continue fabricating, but he realized he truly couldn’t come up with any new words,

Yet Zhou Xuan continued, "The Kongming Mirror is not unique to Jing Country, this mirror can be activated by every disciple cultivating, and through the imagery in the mirror, their Tao could progress rapidly!

The Buddha Country and Blood Flesh Divine Dynasty both have their own Kongming Mirrors,

The people of the Buddha Country refer to the Kongming Mirror as ’Buddha Fire’, the people of Buddha Country also understand the uses of such mystical objects best, naturally, they know that the people of Jing Country cannot master the Mirror Awakening Technique,

Once Jing Country masters it, the Hall Disciples of Jing Country, their Incense Fire Tao would soar, becoming formidable opponents for the Buddha Country."

After saying this, Zhou Xuan paused and continued, "Three hundred years ago, the Buddha Country landed in Jing Country for the first time. They imprisoned the Tattoo Tree Clan and turned Peng Town of the Tattoo Clan into a forbidden zone,

They also discovered that many among the Tattoo Clan were naturally able to activate the Kongming Mirror,

So, when the Buddha Country learned of this, fearing the matter of the Kongming Mirror would leak, after an investigation, they found that the Peach Blossom Witch had once told Yun Ziliang about the Kongming Mirror,

It was only because the Buddha Country at that time had already committed the massacre at Peng Town, under close watch by major forces in Jing Country, that they couldn’t easily stir trouble,

Thus, the people of Buddha Country sought you out, offered you great benefits, and hired you to massacre Hidden Dragon Mountain."

The first half of these words were historical facts known to Zhou Xuan, while the latter dealings between the Buddha Country and West Valley True Monarch came from his conjecture.

However, this conjecture had details and connections, making it unlikely to deviate greatly from past facts.

West Valley True Monarch was already unable to refute.

"When I was in Mingjiang Prefecture, I was close friends with Yun Ziliang and Taohua Witch Peng Sheng,

At that time, I lamented that both were tied by misfortune, in the same year,

Peng Sheng’s Peng Town was invaded by the Buddha Country’s Three-headed Stone Buddha, and the clansmen were brainwashed, recognizing criminals as their fathers,

While Lao Yun’s Hidden Dragon Mountain was brutally massacred,

Thinking about it now, both of their tragic fates were related to the Kongming Mirror."

Zhou Xuan sneered, "West Valley, do you admit to what you have done, or not?"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

West Valley True Monarch stubbornly denied. If he admitted, today he would have no way out, even if he managed to escape Lotus Mountain, there would be no place for him in Jing Country.

Not admitting still left a chance.

But how could Zhou Xuan let him deny it?

"West Valley True Monarch, do you know why I am only now coming forward to point you out?"

Zhou Xuan coldly asked.

West Valley True Monarch did not reply. He was already aware of Zhou Xuan’s cunning. Do not be fooled by how young this great gentleman from Mingjiang Prefecture is, as the words he spoke hid sharpness within blandness,

Should he carelessly speak, who knows what trap he might step into.

This time, Zhou Xuan did not require a reply from West Valley True Monarch.

He coldly said, "When I wrote down seven ’sad’ words and seven ’pain’ words, I inexplicably entered a mystical space,

In this space, the things within my Secret Realm came to life—I would imagine you know exactly what is in my Secret Realm."

"How would I know what is in your Secret Realm?"

"In my Secret Realm is the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts, she was once one of Buddha Country’s strongest fighters, and she knows a lot of secrets too."

Zhou Xuan sneered, "Earlier, that Mother of a Hundred Ghosts already confessed some truths of the secrets to me, among them, how the people of Buddha Country bribed you to massacre Hidden Dragon Mountain."

"Now, that Mother of a Hundred Ghosts has already been transformed by my calligraphy; otherwise, I could call her out to honestly speak these truths in front of everyone."

Zhou Xuan’s tone was confident. In the martial arts world of Jing Country, neither his Tao cultivation, incense fire, nor divine skills were considered the top,

But in terms of acting, if he claimed to be second, who would dare claim first?

"The Mother of a Hundred Ghosts is from the Buddha Country; the Buddha Country harbors ill intentions toward my Jing Country, attempting to incite our internal strife, in the end, her testimony is not trustworthy."

"Whether her words are credible, the Shaman God will immediately know when they’re heard."

Zhou Xuan called to the heavens, "Shaman God, enter my Secret Realm to listen to the true words of the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts."

A blood wind swept across Lotus Mountain,

From within Zhou Xuan’s body came the voice of the Shaman God: "Young Master, isn’t the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts in slumber? How can she testify against West Valley True Monarch?"
